NATIONALISM AND PATRIOTISM
PATRIOTISM
➤1500s word "Patriot" was first recorded.
➤1700s word "Patriotism" was first recorded
►Refer to "a member of a resistance movement or a freedom fighter"
➤Derived from Greek word "Patriotes", "fellow-countryman or lineage member."
➤The root of this word, in turn, means "fatherland".
The word patriotism is a noun that means "devoted love, support, and defense of one's
country; national loyalty."
Refers to the feeling of attachment and commitment to a country, nation, or political
community.
The patriot believes that both the system of government and the people of their country
are inherently good and work together for a better quality of life.
TYPES OF PATRIOTISM
1. Personal Patriotism- respect for flag, treated as emotional and voluntary
2. Official Patriotism- highly symbolic and ceremonial to claim allegiance to state
3. Symbolic Patriotism-raising morale in wartimes.
4. Peacetime Patriotism- love for country even without challenge
Nationalism
➤Loyalty and devotion to a nation
➤ Sense of national consciousness
➤Promotion of culture and interests as opposed to other nations or groups
TYPES OF NATIONALISM
CIVIC NATIONALISM
Civic nationalism defines the nation as an association of people who identify
themselves as belonging to the nation, who have equal and shared political
procedures.
According to the principles of Civic nationalism, the nation is not based on common
ethnic ancestry, but is a political entity whose core identity is not ethnicity.
✓ Political Entity X Ethnicity
ETHNIC NATIONALISM
➤ Also known as ethno-nationalism
➤ Is a form of nationalism wherein the nation is defined in terms of ethnicity.
➤ The central theme of ethnic nationalists is that nations are defined by a shared
heritage, which usually includes a common language, a common faith, and a common
ethnic ancestry.
➤ It also includes ideas of a culture shared between members of the group, and with
their ancestors.
CREOLE NATIONALISM
➤ Refers to the ideology that emerged in independence movements among the creoles
(descendants of the colonizers).
➤ Allegiance to the Napoleonic states was rejected, and increasingly the creoles
demanded independence.
➤ Creole nationalists sought independent nationhood under Creole control. They typically
did not give weight to the native or mixed-race peoples who comprised the great
majority of the population in most Latin-American colonies.
NATIVIST NATIONALISM
➤ Similar to creole or territorial types of nationalism, but which defines belonging to a
nation solely by being born on its territory.
➤ In countries where strong nativist nationalism exists, people who were not born in the
country are seen as lesser nationals than those who were born there, and are called
"immigrants" even if they became naturalized.
➤ It is cultural as people will never see a foreign-born person as one of them, and is
legal, as such people are banned for life from holding certain jobs, especially government
jobs.
➤ This nationalism is common in the Americas both in daily life and in legal and work
areas.
ECONOMIC NATIONALISM
➤ Refers to an ideology that favors state interventionism in the economy, with policies
that emphasize domestic control of the economy, labor and capital formation, even if
this requires the imposition of tariffs and other restrictions on the movement of labor,
goods and capital.
RELIGIOUS NATIONALISM
➤ Religious nationalism is the relationship of nationalism to a particular religious belief,
dogma or affiliation where a shared religion can be seen to contribute to a sense of
national unity, a common bond among the citizens of the nation.
➤ Saudi Arabian, Iranian, Egyptian, Iraqi and the Pakistani-Islamic nationalism are some
examples.
TERRITORIAL NATIONALISM
Territorial nationalists assume that all inhabitants of a particular nation owe allegiance
(loyalty) to their country of birth or adoption.
Citizenship is idealized by territorial nationalists.
RACIAL NATIONALISM
Is an ideology that advocates a racial definition of national identity. Racial nationalism
seeks to preserve a given race through policies such as banning race mixing and the
immigration of other races. Specific examples are Black nationalism and white
nationalism
SPORTS NATIONALISM
Sport spectacles command worldwide audiences as nations battle for supremacy and the
fans invest intense support for their national team.
Increasingly people have tied their loyalties and even their cultural identity to national
teams.
TRAITS
A distinguishing quality or characteristic
VALUES
Are individual beliefs that motivate people to act one way or another. They serve as a
guide for human behavior.
The term KAPWA, or a shared inner self, lies at the core of Filipino values and
psychology.
A person who treats another as a kapwa has a shared sense of identity and
consciousness with that other person.
Positive Filipino Traits
THE FAMILY
Children are not expected to leave their parents' house until they get married.
Even after then, many couples opt to stay with or close to their or their spouse's
parents.
Also, they're expected to care for their aging parents instead of sending them to a
retirement home.
At the same time, in the face of difficult or challenging situations, members of the
community are encouraged to look at the brighter side of things.
In a place where natural calamities are commonplace, humor and positivity work as a
coping mechanism, much like how some children laugh to hide their embarrassment
after slipping or falling.
FILIPINO HOSPITALITY
Filipinos are naturally hospitable
Guests can be expected to extend a very warm welcome to their guests regardless
of where they come from, how well they know their host, and why they're visiting
someone's home.
Hosts typically provide their guests with food and entertainment and, if there's
time, a tour around the local destinations.
In the Philippines, no one leaves with an empty stomach. Before they leave, guests
are even entreated to take home pasalubong or souvenirs, which often come in the
form of delicacies and local sweets.
INDUSTRIOUS ATTITUDE
Another one of the great characteristics of Filipinos is their being resourceful and
industrious.
They are determined to finish their set goals despite difficult circumstances and limited
resources.
GENEROSITY
Filipinos are naturally helpful and generous people.
They give as much as they can and extend help to family members and even strangers -
when needed.
This is seen through the abundance of charity drives and foundations in the country,
especially when calamities arise.
Chapter 4:
FILIPINO HERITAGE, THE FILIPINO LANGUAGE, FOOD, SPORTS, AND
MUSIC
FILIPINO HERITAGE
UNESCO is the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.
World Heritage
The sites are judged to contain "cultural and natural heritage around the world
considered to be of outstanding value to humanity."
According to UNESCO, among the top reasons for Mount Hamiguitan Range Wildlife
Sanctuary's inclusion in the list of heritage sites in the Philippines is because it
represents a complete, substantially intact, and highly diverse mountain ecosystem, in a
significant biogeographic region of the Philippines.
Filipino master carvers incised the church's entire surface. The church of Santo Tomas de
Villanueva is one of the best examples of the fusion of the western Baroque style
embellished with Filipino folk motifs. With that being said, it's not surprising why this
church is among the UNESCO World Heritage Sites Philippines.
Its key features include an 85-step stairway that leads to a carving of the Virgin Mary
atop a tree, and a bell tower which was added in 1810. The power and simplicity of its
geometric forms, and its location, make this UNESCO World Heritage Site Philippines an
outstanding example of Peripheral Baroque architecture.
This is one of the most notable "earthquake baroque" structures in the country where the
primary concern was to design the church for earthquake protection.
Being one of UNESCO world heritage sites in the Philippines, Paoay Church has become a
top tourist destination in the region.
The UNESCO World Heritage Site San Agustin Church, built between 1587 and 1606, is
considered the oldest and longest-standing church in the country. The church was the
only structure left intact in Intramuros during World War II.
Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park is one of the world's most impressive
cave systems. What makes it to the UNESCO World Heritage Sites Philippines is its
uniquely and impressive features of spectacular limestone karst landscapes, pristine
natural beauty, and intact old-growth forests and distinctive wildlife.
One of the most remarkable heritage sites in the Philippines is the Tubbataha Reefs
Natural Park. Most people consider this UNESCO World Heritage Site as every diver's
dream as it covers 130,028 hectares, including the North and South Reefs.
While this UNESCO World Heritage Site was built a thousand years ago, the traditional
farming technique is still practiced to this day. That's why the Rice Terraces of the
Philippine Cordilleras are an important part of the Philippine culture and identity.
